Para/Site Art Space is pleased to present the Hong Kong public with solo
exhibitions from European artists Clare Goodwin and Cecilia Heisser this
September.
British artist Clare Goodwin, creates large cardboard sculptures with reference
to the avant-garde TV installations of celebrated Korean artist Nam June Paik,
regarded as the father of video art. A homage to Paik as forerunner, Goodwin's
humourous application of carton boxes as disposable televisions parodies an era
of mass media in which the (instant) medium is the (instant) message.
In contrast with Goodwin's humourous approach Cecilia Heisser, hailing from
Stockholm, Sweden, investigates time, memory and death. Her latest project has
been in development since 1993 and draws on the last years of the life of her
grandfather, Wolfram Heisser, during World War II. Through her text, photographs
and video not only can one experience the personal history of an man, but one
can also sense how grand a history may be constructed even by narratives that
are perhaps distorted.
Separate catalogues will be published. Both artists will be present for the
exhibition opening and available for interviews. Enquiries: 2517-4620 or

Clare Goodwin's exhibition is supported by the British Council. Para/Site Art
Space is financially supported by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council.
